Like Microsoft, they surround themselves by shells to absorb the bad PR in
the press (a punch bag, like RIAA to Sony and Warner). Microsoft uses
peripheral PR agencies (less liability) and IIRC it was the WSJ
that said Myhrvold has over 1,000 satellite LLCs and such stuff...
identifying them is the hard part because they are just
registered addressed, or Munchkins. See Techrights wiki on Acacia, IV,
"Microsoft PR Agencies", and Internal (there is a page for each).
"Internal Research" sounds like some rogue forensic stuff. Patents on wick
effect? http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4258
If only Gates could patent that... maybe his ventures would consider investing.
